Sieve flour and baking powder. Put them in the food processor. (You can knead all ingredients by hand, but be quick, so that the butter does not melt too much from the heat of our hands). Add sugar, salt, and cold butter. Mix together quickly, to get a mixture with small grains of butter.Put ingredients in a bowl and add blueberries. Separately mix together milk and sour cream. Mix wet ingredients with dry ones. Put the mixture on a work surface and knead until they connect. If necessary, sprinkle a little flour, so that the dough does not stick.Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Tear pieces from the dough and shape them into balls, try to make them as equal as possible.Let the balls rest for ten minutes. During that time, clean the kitchen, which is surely very dirty. :) Mix egg yolk and a tablespoon of milk.After ten minutes, brush balls with the egg mixture and put them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until the top of the cakes is golden brown. Traditionally, these cakes are eaten together with butter and jam or with tea.

Tea Party with Friends

When meeting friends for a chat, it is time to share all important and not so important stories, musings, information, and advice. One of them is how to make a beautiful butterfly from a paper napkin. And how to make the best cookies.

Directions:

Sieve spelt flour, baking powder, and cornstarch. Grate lemon zest and preheat the oven at 180 degrees.Use an electric mixer and mix butter at room temperature with caster sugar and vanilla seeds.Add egg, a pinch of salt and lemon test, mix again quickly. Then add sieved flour, baking powder and starch.We get fairly soft mixture; shape walnut-size circles and put them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle unbaked biscuits with caster sugar.Place the prepared biscuits in a preheated oven at 180°C for 13-15 minutes.

While the first tray of biscuits is baking, put the excess biscuits in a fridge, so that the butter does not melt.Leave baked biscuits a few minutes on a tray (warm biscuits are very crumbly, but they become firm when the cool down) to partially cool, then move them to a serving plate or a cookie jar.

Family Picnic

The picnics were, for a long time, tied only to the hottest summer days. But it does not have to be this way! Every sunny day is appropriate for sunny socialising with your friends. Prepare a snack, fold paper napkins into a handy cutlery pocket and breathe free in the fresh air.

Filled Baguette with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

Cut the baguette in half. Remove the core from each half.Tear the core into small pieces and put it in a bowl. Add finely chopped tomatoes, finely chopped mozzarella, cream cheese and pesto.Thoroughly mix all the ingredients. If the filling is not salty enough, add salt.Put the filling in empty halves of baguettes and seal them tightly with aluminium foil. Place them in the fridge for at least a few hours, possibly overnight.Cut the cooled loaf into slices and serve.

Children's Birthday

Of course you would like everything to be perfect for your child's birthday. But on the other hand, you know well that 'perfect' begins to fall to pieces as soon as your little guests arrive to your home. What if you involved them in preparing the table and interesting paper napkin folding? This will be a party!

Mix spelt flour and baking powder. Add vanilla seeds to ordinary sugar. Measure the right amount of oil and milk in a measuring jug. Put paper liners in the muffin pan.Separate egg yolks and whites. Mix whites into snow. Add sugar and a pinch of salt to yolks. Mix the content with an electric mixer until its volume doubles and the mixture becomes yellow. Then pour in the wet ingredients and sieve in dry ingredients. Mix well.Put 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each paper liner. Put two raspberries on each muffin and add a teaspoon of sour cream. Cover the raspberries with a full tablespoon of prepared mixture.Put the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C for 17-19 minutes. Put it on the upper part of the oven.After that, remove the muffins from the pan immediately and thereby stop the cooking process. Cool them completely.Whip the whipping cream until medium consistency. Then, add sugar and whip some more, so it becomes firm. Slowly mix in the sour cream.Put the topping on top of the muffins and decorate them with the remaining raspberries.

Quick Lunch during the Week

Every day we hurry, run, race, rush. We must catch all deadlines, we must not be late for anything, we are driven along by schedules and reminders. We are adding one reminder to this: even simple dinners during the week should be served with a prettily set tables. Stop the wild flow of the day and calm down in your own home.

Wash and dry the peppers. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in a preheated oven at 220 degrees. Bake for 30-40 minutes and turn around once during baking, so they are evenly roasted.Put roasted peppers in a plastic bag and seal tightly. Wait to cool, then peel and remove seeds.Roast pine nuts over a minimum temperature. Then cool, put in a mortar or food processor and crush them together with salt. Add chopped roasted peppers, basil and roasted garlic and oil. Crush or mix all together to get a homogenous mixture. Then add parmesan cheese, so the mixture becomes creamy. Give it a quick stir and taste. If desired, add a little bit of salt or parmesan. If you like garlic, grate an extra fresh clove into the sauce.In a larger bowl, boil water. When it boils, add salt and spaghetti. Cook them “al dente” – about 1-2 minutes less that the recommended time on the packaging. Drain.Add the sauce to still hot pasta and mix everything together.

Festive Dinner

Special occasions require special treatment: a festive menu, best dishes, plates and cutlery, special lights, perhaps candles and flowers too. And of course - a table set in a special, festive way, which can be matched in colour to your clothing, thus letting you seize the home field advantage.

Cut onions and garlic into small pieces. Cut carrots into circles. Cut the meat into large chunks.In a pan, heat a few tablespoons of oil and fry onions. After that add garlic and wait for its typical smell to release. Then, add meat. Roast for about 5 minutes, so it gets finely roasted. Add wine and broth. Add chopped carrots, salt, pepper, pelati tomatoes, a pinch of sugar and nutmeg. Bring to boil, then lower the temperature and cook slowly for 1 to two hours. During cooking, add water (not too much), if necessary. If the sauce is too thin, the buns will sink in.In the end, mix flour and 0.5 dl of water and add to the sauce. Boil the sauce to thicken and pour it into a pan.Sieve flour and baking powder. Mix them with sugar, polenta, 2/3 of grated cheese, chilli flakes and salt. Separately mix egg, milk, oil and chilled (it can be a little warm) melted butter with a whisk.Gradually stir wet ingredients into dry ones.Add a full tablespoon of dough on the edge of the stuffing in a baking try, place the pieces of dough 2cm apart. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.If you have extra dough left, make buns on a parchment paper, sprinkle them with cheese and bake together with the dish in the pan. Serve together with the CobblerBake at 220°C for about 20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.
